"Memory of a Killer" Season 1 follows Patrick Dempsey as a hitman with early-onset dementia navigating a double life in a straightforward thriller adapted faithfully from a Belgian film, emphasizing suspense, antihero dynamics, and plot twists without any ideological overlays like progressive themes or social justice messaging. The show's diverse supporting cast, including actors of Latino and biracial heritage, feels organic to a modern production rather than forced, with no creator emphasis on activism, DEI, or related controversies in reception. Despite this refreshing focus on pure entertainment, the season earns a low 1/10 score due to execution flaws like pacing issues and blandness, prioritizing thriller elements over substantive quality.
